Graham Calvert wants the William Hill betting chain to pay back his losses on the grounds it failed in its duty. He said he had twice asked the company to close his account and stop accepting bets from him because he was addicted.

Calvert, a greyhound trainer, said his marriage failed because of his gambling and when he tried to stop he was "let down" by the bookmaker.
